Gordang Sambilan is a traditional art form of the Batak Mandailing tribe. The term "Gordang" means drum or large drum, while "Sambilan" means nine. Gordang Sambilan consists of nine drums of varying lengths and diameters, which produce different tones. Typically, it is played by six people, with the smallest drums 1 and 2 serving as the taba-taba, drum 3 as the tepe-tepe, drum 4 as the kudong-kudong, drum 5 as the kudong-kudong nabalik, drum 6 as the pasilion, and drums 7, 8, and 9 as the jangat. Originally, Gordang Sambilan was performed only during sacred events. However, with the evolution of social culture, it is now commonly played at weddings, to welcome guests, and during major celebrations. As a cherished part of Indonesia's cultural heritage, Gordang Sambilan has even been performed at the presidential palace.
